  5. I do have a few bookmarks but they are all being used in various books I haven't read in a while . Now I have resorted to using an index card, although I have been known to fold down the pages when I've started a book on the bus and have nothing to mark my pages with.

  8. Hi,

    I'm quite enjoying it thanks. I wasn't too sure at the start and it took me a while to get into it but it's got better. I love the movie and for once I prefer the film to the book for some reason. How did you find it?

  9. :5birthday:

    Happy Birthday Kenny, hope you have a fab day.

  10. :5birthday:

    Hope you have a lovely day.

  11. That is so true, I bought the first two books and read them in a couple of days then had to go out and buy the third book (well my boyfriend bought it me as I was skint ) as soon as I'd finished them. Having to wait til Breaking Dawn came out almost killed me .
  12. New potatoes, salad and various meats (cheese for me though).
  13. "The light hadn't even officially turned green at the intersection of 17th and Broadway before an army of overconfident yellow cabs roared past the tiny deathtrap I was attempting to navigate around the city streets." The Devil Wears Prada - Lauren Weisberger.
  14. I would have to choose: Leland Chapman. Elvis Presley. Jodi Picoult. Robert Pattinson. Gaspard Ulliel. James McAvoy. Alan Carr. Dave Spikey. Johnny Depp. Tim Burton. Alan Rickman.
  15. Thanks for the picture comment :). He's nice to look at but he's the biggest pain in the bum lol.

  16. Birthday: 21st July 1988. Age: 20. Starsign: Cancer. Single/Married/Other? No fella at the minute. Children? Not for a long time. Where do you live? Salford, Manchester Do you work? Nope, but I am a full time uni student. Favourite author? Jodi Picoult, Cecelia Ahern, Sophie Kinsella, Alice Sebold, Ian McEwan, Dorothy Koomson, J.K Rowling, Stephenie Meyer. Favourite book? Too many. How did you get here? Google.
  17. I can't stand second hand books so I buy all mine new, mainly from Waterstones or Asda. Borders was also great for offers but they closed the local one down. There's also a shop in Manchester Town Centre called Fropp which has books at a reasonable price and also The Works which has some good bargains.
  18. I think it was cancelled in the US after the "incident" but they forgave Dog and bought it back. I know that Season 5 started around July (without Tim) on A&E but they have just started showing Season 4 on Bravo.
  19. All I can think of at the moment are: Little Man Dude Where's My Car? Star Wars: The Clone Wars
  20. The two new episodes of Dog The Bounty Hunter I missed last night because my dad was hogging the television . Now I'll have to wait until Sunday night.
  21. Indeed it is, he's sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo yummy :D.

    Oh and a very late thank you for the birthday wishes - I've only just been able to reply to vistor messages.

  22. Hi, I hope this helps, this is the info it has on the front:

    Oh and thank you for the friend request - you're my first one :-).

  23. I read anytime during the day - particularly when everyone's at work or college and there's no noise. Or when I'm at my boyfriends and he's on his games console . My sister thinks I'm wierd cos I spend my whole bus journey to uni reading, but to me it's an extra hour of reading time and with my i-pod on it means I can block out the annoying kids on the back of the bus.
